"He was maybe halfway there, looking up and seeing nobody inside yet when the noise stopped. Then the crying started again, but coming from the house."
I received the following account:
"This was back in the day of no cars for the poor folk in the Appalachians of North Georgia. My great-grandfather's friend was a richer man by poor standards and thus had a horse. One day he was riding the horse through the state highway, which was a lonely road out in the middle of nowhere. Sun beating down on him on this summer day.
The road cut this old farm property in half. On the left side of the road was a barn and on the right side was the old farmhouse. It had been abandoned for several years at that point. And nothing else but tall swaying cornfields. As he's nearing the house he feels a weird, eerie feeling, but he doesn't pause until he hears a baby crying from inside the house.
Now, there was no car in the driveway, no open door, no lights on. He deduced that if it was a baby, someone, maybe a young mother on the run or a kidnapper, was hiding out in there. Either way the crying baby made him pull up to the driveway on his horse, tie the horse up, and walk up the walkway.
He was halfway up the walkway when the baby stopped. He paused, and then the sound started again. But this time the sound was coming from the barn. Thinking it was just wind currents or something, he strode back down the walkway, and across the highway, leaving his horse, and walked through the corn toward the barn. He was maybe halfway there, looking up and seeing nobody inside yet when the noise stopped. Then the crying started again, but coming from the house.
He bolted back through the corn and onto his horse, and spurred it out of the property. The horse had been neighing and stomping, generally acting freaked, which it didn't normally do being an older and gentler horse. The friend told my Grandpa that was the only time in that horse's life he'd spurred it and it actually began to gallop away without any further persuasion." R
